Description: For avid diners who are visiting Virginia Beach or live within 20 miles of the VB Oceanfront and are looking for the premier dining location, Catch 31 with unique oceanfront dining vignettes and located on the most recognized and valuable real estate in Virginia Beach offers the largest selection of fresh fish and seafood delivered in contemporary style and with high energy.

Beautiful Restaurant near the beach. We enjoyed our meals which included crab cakes, grilled shrimp, salmon, lobster tail and red snapper. All the seafood was very fresh and tasteful. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating so we decided to take advantage of the warm summer evening by dining outside for my sister's birthday celebration. I would definitely go back again whenever I am in the Virginia Beach area.

Thank you for choosing Catch 31 for your birthday celebration as well as your enthusiastic recommendation to return. I also appreciate that you noticed the freshness of our seafood as we are fanatical about selling our fish no more than three days out of the water. Freshness like that is apparent from the very first bite. We look forward to seeing you again.

I’m very disappointed that you did not receive the type of experience we are so well known for and why we rate so highly. Visiting Catch 31 should never be a hassle and I do apologize that we made it so for you. I do hope you give us another opportunity if you visit the area as I’m confident that we can regain your trust and earn your patronage.

Great Seafood! We had a party of 6, we waited over the estimated wait time of an hour and a half, on Sunday night Labor Day Weekend. The hostess mistakingly forgot to seat us. The kitchen had already close for the night but we were still seated and served. The service was not great but once we finally got our food it was awesome. The Salmon-Perfect, Peel Shrimp- Delicious, Crab Cake- Tasty Garlic Mashed Potatoes- Yummy

I do apologize that host staff lost your name on the waitlist but I’m so grateful we were able to win you back with the freshness and quality of the seafood served you. We hang our hat on having a wide variety of the freshest seafood available that we process here in house and you can tell with every bite. Take care and we look forward to seeing you again.

We were lucky to have seats outside. Music and noise inside would give you headache even while you are waiting to be seated. You cannot make reservation and have to wait from 2 to 4 hours! Even when we were finally had our table we have to wait for hour food another 45 minutes. Portions are small, taste is average, but location is great, and view from outside seats is very pleasant.

I deeply apologize for the slow service you encountered on your visit to Catch 31. Without getting into specifics we indeed were experiencing difficulties in delivering our excellent food in a timely for a portion of the day you were here. As hard as we try to execute at a high level every day sometimes things go wrong and again I’m sorry we burdened you with our difficulties. I do hope you give us another opportunity to earn your patronage as the experience you encountered is very rare to what we normally deliver on a daily basis.
